Summary

While remote work has presented several challenges for tech companies, including Redis, leaders at top tech firms have shared valuable lessons learned on managing remote workers. Investing in adjustable desks and extra screens can help with productivity and comfort when working from home. Utilizing video conferencing tools such as Zoom, Google Hangouts, Microsoft Teams, BlueJeans, and Webex can facilitate seamless communication with colleagues and clients. Reducing eye strain by taking breaks every hour and using blue-light blocking glasses is crucial for maintaining eye health. Meditation, taking short walks outside, and building strong relationships with coworkers are also essential for remote workers to stay productive and connected. Scheduling personal time and creating a designated work area can help maintain a healthy work-life balance. Finally, embracing the flexibility of remote work can lead to new opportunities such as exploring different locations and enjoying more time with family pets.
